Although the 1198 shares bodywork with last year's 1098, Ducati claims it's an all-new model. The motor is a bored-out version of the Testastretta Evoluzione mill featuring new throttle bodies, crankcases, gear cluster, cams and pistons add up to a light, powerful motor good for a claimed 170 hp and 97 ft.-lbs. of torque. The 375-pound S version, 2 pounds lighter than the base 1198, gets the traction control and data-acquisition system found on last year's $40,000 1098R, as well as Öhlins suspension and 7-spoke Marchesini forged wheels. Ducati owners, particularly those who ponied up for the 2008 1098R, are already grumbling about the 1198S. Priced in the low $20,000 range, it should be very close to the performance and technology of the 1098R.

Finally, Ducati unveiled the 1098R Bayliss Replica. It has the same specs as your garden-variety 1098R, including the carbon-fiber bodywork and 180 hp engine spiced up with a pearl-white-and-red color scheme. It includes a racing exhaust system and ECU, cover, stand and commemorative plaque. Five hundred will be built. Pricing is unannounced but likely be around 45k.
